    • Irrigated Agricultural Expansion Planning in Developing Countries: Performance vs. Resilience vs. Reliability 

      Allam, Mohamed Nasr; Marks, David H. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1983-06)
      Agricultural expansion planning in developing countries where there is extensive government involvement in the planning process can be defined in a two level hierarchy. At the first level, strategic planning on the ...

    • A Derived Flood Frequency Distribution Based on the Geomorphoclimatic IUH and the Density Function of Rainfall Excess 

      Diaz-Granados, Mario A.; Valdes, Juan B.; Bras, Rafael L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1983-07)
      The geomorphoclimatic theory is used, along with the joint probability density function of storm duration and storm intensity and the representation of the infiltration process, to derive the flood frequency distribution ...

    • Incorporation of Channel Losses in the Geomorphologic IUH 

      Diaz-Granados, Mario A.; Bras, Rafael L.; Valdes, Juan B. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1983-07)
      The infiltration losses along the streams of a basin are included into the Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph (IUH). The IUH is derived as a function of the basin geomorphologic and physiographic characteristics, and the response ...
